Lei Cheng Uk - you can see Kei Oi Primary School on Kwong Lee Road the right hand side. Taken possibly late 50s/early 60s before Chi Yun School was constructed on the bit of land next to it, closer to the camera. Chi Yun opened in 1963, so before then.

Given the way the estate blocks in the foreground are loacted, we are looking at Block T in the centre and the tip of Block U closer to the camera, so I am guessing that this image was taken from Tai Po Road looking west.

Philk,

Carlton Hotel was to the N of So Uk, So Uk was N of Li Cheng Uk, the photo was aimed to the N.

Yes, you're right, orientation should be NW not W. Thanks
